Right now both sides are wide apart, those in Washington want to keep big business happy, and more votes, but the people want, enforcement, and border control. For right now the only winners are the illegal aliens.

You vote for the politicians that are willing to take a stand against ILLEGAL immigration like Tom Tancredo.
Who knows where Hillary stands? is she for enforcement or does she take the "we need a comprehensive plan".approach? I don't think she has said anything because it is an issue she does not want to take a stand on.
She would rather talk about "affordable" healthcare.
Hey guess what Hillary. if you STOP giving it away FREE to evey ILLEGAL that stumbles into the hospital with a bellyfull of anchor baby it wouldn't cost as much for the rest of us.
I have heard many people talk about Tancredo but don't want to vote for him until they hear how he stands on the other issues.
Hello!!! what issues? Healthcare, abortion, gay marriage? Who the hell cares? if we Don't STOP this invasion there won't be an America left and those other so called "issues" won't matter squat.
Do ALL of things that have already been mentioned, call, write, fax, sign petitions, and, come election time, vote for the anti illegal candidate. Even if they don't win you will at least get the politicians like Hillary to sit up and take notice.

There is a real disconnect between institutions, including the media and politicians, and the public's desire for immigration reduction and enforcement. Immigration, widely seen as a threat to low-wage American workers and as a possible source of terrorism, draws remarkably stronger reactions from the public than leaders. The foreign policy goal of reducing illegal immigration is a far higher public priority by a 48 point margin. The public is substantially more alarmed by immigrants and refugees coming into the United States as a critical threat to U.S. interests by a 46 point margin (60% of the public versus only 14% of leaders). By large, 39 point gaps, the public is more favorable to decreasing legal immigration (57% vs. 18%) and to combating international terrorism by restricting immigration from Arab and Muslim countries 79% vs. 40%).
There are many examples where organization leaders have taken immigration stands contrary to the wishes of membership. For example, the AFL/CIO leadership supports amnesties for illegal aliens in order to boost their sagging membership roles, despite the clear harm mass migration has been on American workers. The Sierra Club, a leading environmental organization, no longer supports U.S. population stabilization because it has "no position on immigration." Native-born Americans would have to reduce their fertility to perhaps one child per family to make it possible to support U.S. population stabilization without reducing mass migration. Yet many Sierra Club members question how the Sierra Club can be considered an American environmental organization while refusing to support U.S. population stabilization. When members hold their organizations accountable the disconnect will diminish.

We've got to do something. The government is ignoring the will of the people and the media seems to only be interested in pushing some pie in the sky mythical commie agenda.

Vote, write to politicians, peacefully demonstrate, get petitions signed, support law enforcement agencies, boycott companies that are known to hire and support illegal aliens...

Since it is deliberate I'm not sure. Stay informed, talk to others, and continuously tell your representatives what you expect of them. It does have some effect.
